does this method work for other iso file?

I have a 32GB USB "thumbdrive", on which, I have had up to 10 different
operating systems - various Linux distributions and versions, GhostBSD
and MidnightBSD, and the MS Windows 10 iso .
Once the drive is configured with Ventoy, it is a simple matter of
copying a downloaded bootable iso file to the drive, then, using the
Ventoy drive to boot.
I wish it was less of a test of my patience! Every time I copy an iso to
Ventoy the result is the *contents * of the iso. It would be a very
useful tool if it did what it says on the box :-)
